    The Breeders both in Manchester.  The Breeders are fine as that is midweek. 

    One of my favourite bands, never seen them live. Kinda impressive that I reckon the best 'rock' track of last few years was released by some sixty-something women. Hoping to go to the Leeds gig, but there's a good chance I won't be in the UK that week.

    Was supposed to see Irish fiddle/accordion player Sharon Shannon in Masham last month, but she cancelled due to illness. Was supposed to see Urban Folk Quartet over in Swaledale last week, but they cancelled due to illness, their banjo player Dan Walsh did a very good solo gig instead. English folk band Leveret up next for me.

    Piece Hall in Halifax has a bit of an all-star line-up this year?

    I’d rather see a team from an area without an existing pro club in the pyramid such as Manchester, Nottingham, Carcassonne, Avignon etc rather than a NCL club from Wigan, Hull, Halifax, Oldham etc

    Yes, would be madness to add an NCL club from a place that already has a pro club in the area - and I think that is all of the current members.

    And of course the switch to summer has been a wonderful success hasn't it? 😑

    Average crowd in the top flight pretty much doubled since the last winter season.

    Amount of money in the game enough to support at least a dozen full-time clubs vs just 1 back then.

    Fair to say that football has got a lot, lot bigger since then too, and rugby union has gone professional.

    My initial thought was Doncaster however I'd say let down on current fanbase. 

    Not a bad shout - bigger town than most of SL and growing quickly, plus a decent catchment area around it without a historically successful sports club. You've got Doncaster Rovers & whatever the RU team is called, but hardly big clubs. Nice stadium, supportive local council, amateur teams & decades of RL background in the area, not too far from the M62 heartland so you can persuade top players to move.
